Therefore, this indicates that; the intervention of COVID-19 vaccine acceleration has surpassed the set target by scoring 168%. In Kyela DC, the intervention reached 88% (29) of the total wards (33) and 79% (44) of the health facilities (56) whereas in Chunya DC, the intervention reached 100% (20) of the wards and 100% (34) of Health facilities. During the outreach services, other services were being provided such as Family planning\/condom distribution, HIV counseling and testing (220), Vitamin A (515), and Blood Pressure diagnosis (271). Key factors that led to key achievements comprise a media campaign that aired messages through local radios as part of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign. The use of community role models i.e. former Mbeya constituent MP Mr. Sugu and health care practitioners experienced in COVID-19 vaccination and hot spots vaccination scenes enhanced the increase of community awareness on COVID-19 vaccination.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0cfdf85 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0cfdf85\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0ee23a4\" data-id=\"0ee23a4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-9510e12 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9510e12\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-4b8551a\" data-id=\"4b8551a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65d2339 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"65d2339\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"543\" src=\"https:\/\/mkapafoundation.or.tz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Population-Reached-Covid19-Vac.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-8618\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mkapafoundation.or.tz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Population-Reached-Covid19-Vac.jpg 940w, https:\/\/mkapafoundation.or.tz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Population-Reached-Covid19-Vac-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mkapafoundation.or.tz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Population-Reached-Covid19-Vac-768x444.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mkapafoundation.or.tz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Population-Reached-Covid19-Vac-600x347.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mkapafoundation.or.tz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Population-Reached-Covid19-Vac-560x323.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-640ba57 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-ova_heading\" data-id=\"640ba57\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"ova_heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ova-heading\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"title second_font\">DATA<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"sub-title \">Data indicates that the total number of people who received SINOPHARM first dose was 4,032 and the second dose was 2,357, which is equivalent to 58% of the clients who received their first dose, and people who received PFIZER first dose 4,992 and the second dose were 707 which equivalents to 14%.
